instructions :: pie crust
♦ Soak pecans and almonds in water for at least 4 hours before using.

♦ Chill crust for 20 minutes in a freezer before adding the chocolate filling.
notes
➜ If the dates used are any variety other than medjool, use a packed 1/2 cup.
➜ This crust can certainly be used for apple pie, or other fruit pies.
➜ This crust is not rigid, meaning it's not usually a pie that can be eaten with just the hands.
➜ This recipe is vegan, kosher, gluten free, and low fat.
